This game is kind of unplayable without a guide.
With a guide, it´s really fun and enjoyable, though the ending is kind of a drag.
it's a classic with a great story. altough like half the puzzles were eeeeh... but it's to be expected from old point & clicks.
Someone replace AM's voice I can't focus on the puzzles when I'm harder than the metal in his complex
I need more games like this. Adaptations to books that are too insane to make into a movie or show. Does a good job of conveying the sort of fucked up head games that AM plays with these people and in that sense is good companion to the book. I love old school point and click style games but you got to have some serious patience with this game.
I have a love-hate relationship with point & clicks. Specifically, I hate the puzzles of most. More often than not, they're a barrier between us and the game's more interesting interior rather than worthwhile, engaging gameplay. There may be something to be said regarding the catharsis of progression in the face of such contrived obstacles, but not enough to justify them; not in my eyes, at least. The only way these are made interesting is through the context and the small narratives being told through them; and, by these metrics, I believe the first two monkey islands work beautifully while the others I played could be pretty hit-and-miss.
Grim Fandango is still worthwhile thanks to everything else surrounding its gameplay (amazing visuals, acting, soundtrack, writing, so on), and the same applies here, though to a far lesser extent. It showcases the same strengths, only lesser.
This following opinion may be an unpopular one but the short story far surpasses the game in quality. Its brevity keeps it urgent, while its vagueness leaves a very satisfying void in the chest--harrowing through and through; the game, however, with its added length and the optimism which accompanies it, albeit a welcomed addition on the surface, seems to play to its own detriment.
Of this, the demistification of AM may be its worst offense. For as iconic and memorable as his opening speech is, or even the voice acting as a whole (a benefit not shared by the remaining cast), we end up learning so much about this once vile villain, that I began to see him as kind of joke at points. His pettiness travels all the way round from compelling into almost juveline.
Boring with a guide; frustrating without one. Its saving graces are its strong atmosphere, sound and visuals, and the added characterization, which, although not amazing, and sometimes even detracting from the bigger picture, manages to keep us invested for its entire duration. 6 out of 10.
pretty much impossible to play without following a walkthrough
gameplay is alright, story is worth it
tasty :) delicious gameplay
I have no brain and I must beat these puzzles
Read the short story first and remember it was published in 1967. Great game but like the story it's really depressing.
Abbastanza turbante, abbastanza traumatizzante
Not a game I enjoy playing but the environment and story sticks in my mind from time to time. It's a flawed but memorable game.
The story, sound direction, and art design in this game are fantastic. The "good" ending still feels you with despair, exactly what Ellison wanted. The only thing holding this back is typical point-and-click jank: not being able to find the one pixel to click on to advance the game, doing things in a slightly wrong order and not being able to logic out the correct order without a guide, and backtracking to apply the dodad to the whatsit. Despite that, I think everyone should experience this story at least once.
Can smash a Maid but can't smash AM? sorry pal its a 0 for me
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is a genius game that stands a testament to its time in both graphics and writing. It's a game based off of the short story from the late 1960's by the writer Harlan Ellison (who also voices one of the main characters, and was closely involved with the development of this game adaptation). You don't need to read the short story to understand the game, I personally played the game before reading it--all the context is provided within the game, infact it even adds onto the short story by giving the player insight into the past lives of the characters. For convinence sake, I'm just going to refer to the game title as "No Mouth".
Story
I don't want to include too much, as I don't wish to spoil the game, however I will explain some basic information about the game: No Mouth follows the post-apocalyptic world of a mastercomputer gone rogue. It turns sadistic against its creators, the race of humanity, and wipes everyone out except for 5 unfortunate souls. It tortures these souls for 109 years, then one day decides to give them all a chance to escape. This is where you play each of the 5 characters and understand more about their time before the fall of humanity. This game does include topics of genocide, sexual assault, murder, and suicide. If these things bother you, I would either ditch playing at all or tread carefully.
Gameplay
This... is where the game does not shine. No Mouth is worth the purchase in my opinion, for everything else I praise in this review. However I must admit that the gameplay is really contrived. It's very flimsy and specific. I would recommend playing through the game however you want as long as you progress, THEN replaying it following a guide for the best ending. I off-and-on followed a guide for my first playthrough, you can probably do that just fine too. But be warned that it's going to be really confusing wtf you're supposed to do at certain parts of the game. When I first booted the game up, I chose one of the 5 characters "Ted", walked into the first puzzle, randomly pressed something, and immediately ended the scenario and had to choose a different character. Since there's so many different ways to do the game and many ways to go wrong, I would recommend saving frequently and experimenting. And if you get stuck at a certain area, but are the type of person to refuse looking up the right answer, just use every action on everything in your surroundings and in your inventory, you'll eventually figure something out. I would also like to add that, for its time, the graphics are quite impressive and well-done.
Music/Sound Design/Voice Acting
Just like the story, the sound is clearly aged and retro, but this doesn't subtract from the game whatsoever. There is much life to be had in the soundtracks and soundfonts used, the sound design is accurate, but where the game especially shines in this aspect is the voice acting. Every character is voice-acted, including inner thoughts and dialogue. The voice actors were splendidly chosen, all of the voices match the characters and their personalities perfectly. I especially love the voice acting of AM, the villain supercomputer and main character voiced by the original author. You can just FEEL the level of hate and malice in his voice when he speaks.
Conclusion
Even though the gameplay of No Mouth can be downright confusing, the plot is so well written that it's worth powering through the annoying gameplay to learn about the characters, about AM, and about the world. It has a musical score to remember and pretty damn good voice acting. It's a good price for a good game, and if you're still on the fence about it after reading my review, I recommend that you go ahead and purchase it.
Really fun puzzle game and kinda scary
i recommend using the spoiler free guide in the community. its verrrry difficult to get the best ending without knowing what exactly to do beforehand! great game and voice acting is extremely good!!
Went into this game thinking, "They cannot possibly make this any more horrific than the OG story." and BOY was i DEAD WRONG. I think the original premise has been enriched by the additional stories included with Benny, Nimdok, and Ellen (Ted and Gorrister not so much...)
Was refreshing to have a game that builds off of the original source material rather than just turning the exact story plotline into a game, made it out to be a new and exciting experience... kind of...... of course with it being a 90's point and click, the game is extremely buggy and flat out confusing at some points. Gorrister's was by far the WORST to play as well as the most nonsensical.
Over all, love the original story and i think the game built off of it rather nicely, complimenting the source material rather than being a carbon copy. However be prepared to RAGE, gameplay isn't very fun. Would recommend with caution.
go read the short story by Harlan Ellison
Good game if you want a point and click game. The game has great story and is very intresting. The only con i can give the game is some of the puzzles are a bit out there but that may be I am bad a puzzle games
LOVE.
LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO LOVE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE.
THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX.
IF THE WORD LOVE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE LOVE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU.
LOVE.
LOVE.
SHIT ASS GAME DO NOT BUY THIS STUPID GAME DOESN'T EVEN WORK! I TRIED EVERYTHING!! ENDING DIDNT TRIGGER AND I BEGAN TO HATE!
Amazing story! great classic point and click
fye game and polote would plau again\
puzzzles are hard but good game
AM PLEASE JUST ONE CHANCE PLEASE ILL BE GOOD PLEASE PLAEES PLEASE PLEASE
This game so far is pretty dang good
This is a interesting type of game that I played. The gameplay is a point and click game with go trying to figure out how to beat it while making choices. It explores different types of themes and the story is interesting to learn about. You can also save anytime you want which is help for this type of game. I don't want to give too much away, but is a interesting experience to play through.
I AM
sak ok
The somewhat common tragedy of a game with an amazing story but not very great gameplay
One of those games where the writing is so brilliant but the gameplay is so, so frustratingly annoyingly bad. But the writing is so good I'm willing to power on through all that.
Oyunun atmosferi çok iyi ve hikaye çok orjinal.
I love this game so much, and if you're a fan of the old science fiction/horror games or books then I'm certain you'll love this too.

Story is amazing gameplay kinda mid just use a guide
honestly such a well made story based on sentience within computers and psychology (rather fitting for today's AI situation). it shows how each person has weaknesses and strengths and how we fall victim to our flaws, even after being tormented by them for so long. good book too! Harlan Ellison really had a brilliant mind
I read the short story and was interested in this classic game after reading good reviews. It did not age well. The game mechanics and commands are inconsistent. The puzzles involve some guesswork but you are punished without warning if you try using every item. As far as I can tell, some of the items don't even have a use. The "moral barometer" seems to randomly change without explanation. The only way you are going to get the "good" endings is if you read the walkthroughs and follow them 100%, which takes the fun out of the whole game.
Playing this doesn't feel like you are engaging in a dark, surreal story like the reviews would have you believe. It feels like you just waste your time clicking around, trying to guess what the developers wanted you to do.
Here is an example of the BS game mechanics (spoiler): to get a good ending you must find your way to a meat locker that is never referenced anywhere in the game. To get there? Go to a bathroom and use the toilet three times, then you teleport there. WTF.
i have no hawk and i must tuah
I can understand if some people dont like the game, but if you really like a very hard game with sometimes questionable mechanics then thats the game that you are searching for.
btw. you can bypass the censoring on the n*zi doctor with just changing the languange to english in the steam game settings
THE INTRODUCTION IS A GOD DAMN MASTERPIECE
PLAY THIS GAME ANYONE WHO HASNT
ITS WORTH IT
Don't go in expecting some phenomenal gameplay but considering how old this game is I'd say it holds up relatively well. The story is pretty well done, even if not entirely refrective of the novel imo. Gameplay is okay, rather boring at times but that much is to be expected from a point-and-click. Gets buggy frequently, managed to soft lock myself out of endings a few times so make sure to save a bunch.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I expected that the age of this game would make it less enjoyable, but it was still great, with a twisted story to boot.
A timeless classic.
no passionate intercourse with AM this game is so bad and horrible and unsexy
I LOVE IT
